say what?

So .. since we moved in, we have caught many glimpses of the elderly couple directly behind us. We always seem to be hanging our washing out at the same time, or im often standing at my back door yelling at the kids at the same time as the little old lady is standing at her back door and yelling at her little old husband. Although they are directly behind us and all that divides us is a little waist high barb wire fence, we haven't done anything more than wave at each other as there is still quite a distance between us to start up a convo from our places at the washing line or back door .. but today, well today the little old lady waltzed over, stood at the fence and kind of .. well come to think of it she kind of whistled Roxiee and i over like we were dogs! ..

So we wander over and she intoduces herself and tells me her husbands name too, i introduce myself, i introduce Roxiee and i tell her that my husband and son are out fishing .. we chat for a while about our move from Melb - Bundy and i tell her that we are looking to buy a house in Avoca, she tells me what a great place Avoca is and how there are lots of retired people, who are naturally, retired, and then her whole tone changes as she tells me about the 'young' people .. apparantly the 'young' people all work ..and then .. the blogerific sentence ..

"Im suprised that you dont work!!!" ... WOOOOOOOOOOO, gloves on you old maggot infested bag. Are you shitting me? Im sorry but for starters i don't recall asking for your opinion BUT .. seeing as you have now shared it with me, i am making an assumption that it would now be fair of me to make a return opinion which may go a little something like this ..

"I'm suprised you arent dead you old bat"
or .. "Im suprised i havent smacked you in the face with a shovel yet" .. "Oh, never mind, on second looks its apparant that someone already bet me to it" ..

Not once in our conversation did i say i wasn't employed, she HAS seen me throughout the day hanging washing etc so perhaps thats why she assumed i do not have paid employment, but perhaps i work at night? Perhaps i am a prostitute?!?!?! .. or, perhaps .. perhaps in this day and age it's okay for a mother to actually stay at home and be a mother. I took HUGE offence to her stupid statement, i probably shouldn't have .. i mean, back in her day stay at home mums probably werent invented yet .. who know .. who cares. Im thinking of setting fire to her house tonight.

So, as much as i took offence, im not a granny basher so i bit my tounge and put my 'mature face on' .. the rest of the conversation was relatively harmless ..

Little old lady : "well it was lovely to meet you. I should let you know, if ever you talk to me and i dont reply, im not ignoring you im just a little hard on hearing darling"

Me : "rigggght, no worries you old, fat cunt. Go.Eat.A.Dick"

Little old lady "Sorry love, i didn't quite catch that"

Me : "I said no worries, have a great day"
